Patrick's Story

In Their Own Words

MA
“I have been with Akoma Ntoso Foundation for five years, working as a Registration Officer. My role involves registering community members and recording information about those who are sick or need medical attention. What surprised me most was seeing the importance of the foundation’s work and how it helps people in need. I would encourage a friend to visit because it is a meaningful experience that teaches compassion, teamwork, and the importance of giving back to the community.”

“What surprises me most is how great Akoma Ntoso Foundation is — giving free healthcare every six months is so amazing. And how the foundation makes provisions for those who need advanced healthcare and surgeries.”

“My sister and I joined ANF on a trip to Ghana very early in our medical careers. I was a first-year medical student and she was a premed getting ready to start medical school. We had little to offer in skill but were happy to be invited to help in all the ways we could. I was so surprised by how welcomed we were — not only by our volunteer group but by the communities we served. Every interaction I have as a doctor now has been positively influenced by the connections I made on that trip.”

Gabriela C.
“What surprised me most was seeing the challenges patients in underserved communities face when trying to access basic healthcare that should be easy to reach. I would absolutely encourage anyone to go because ANF offers an incredible opportunity to experience medicine in an underserved setting and to gain a true understanding of healthcare disparities. Learning about Ghana and its culture was also an incredible experience.”
